Possible. The forest option in ps shows /usr/X11R6/bin/X to be called from 
gdm-binary, which is in turn called from prefdm.

It seems intuitive that gdm-binary uses gdm.conf. There is nothing of 
relevance in prefdm.

Nah. This is on the system level, not user level. Tried it anyway, no luck.

Nothing useful. Could it be "hardwired" in the gdm-binary?

Workaround: I can open a remote terminal with ssh -Y <remote host> xterm
However, this does not work for all systems. For example, there is an IRIX box 
I'd like to connect to where it still complains it couldn't open 
128.206.....:0.0 display.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Mark
